Abstract:
Objective To investigate the imaging features and the relationship with pathological characteristics of chromophobe cell renal carcinoma (CCRC).Methods The clinicopatholocal manifestations and CT or MRI imaging findings were analyzed retro-spectively in 23 patients with surgically confirmed CCRC.The location,shape,size,density,border,blood supply and invasion of adjacent organs of CRCC,especially the dynamic enhanced mode,were mainly analyzed and compared with pathology.Results The 23 cases of CCRC showed unilateral single mass on CT and MRI scans,and 12 located in right kidney while 1 1 in left kidney.The size ranged from 27-330 mm in diameter,and round or oval-shaped soft tissue mass was observed.The boundaries of 1 6 cases were clear,and 3 cases of mass broke through renal capsule,3 invaded renal pelvis,perirenal fat,renal vein and inferior vena cava,2 ca-ses with retroperitoneal lymph node metastases.18 cases were scanned by CT and the mass presented as soft tissue density on plain CT (CT value 30-44 HU).6 cases were scanned by MRI with abnormalities presenting with iso or hypo-intense on the T1 WI,hy-per or hypo-intense on the T2 WI,and 2 cases of pseudocapsule were showed as circled hypointense on T2 WI.According to the dy-namic enhancement,23 cases of CCRC were divided into three type:(1 )Mild-to-moderate enhanced type(n= 14):including mild homogeneous strengthening (n=7)and mild heterogeneous strengthening (n=7);(2)Significantly enhanced type(n=7):including heterogeneous enhancement(n=6)and uniform enhancement(n=1);(3)Spokes shape or scar enhancement(n=2).The sample of CCRC was mainly solid and showed yellowish-brown or brown section.According to the situation of HE staining,the characteristic microscopic features were divided into three types:the typical,acidophil type and mixed type.Conclusion Combined imaging find-ings of CT dynamic enhanced mode can provide characteristic information for diagnosis of CCRC,and comprehensive analysis of the imaging findings will contribute to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
